Definitive royal provision of nobility in favor of Andrés González, resident of Valdeolivas (Cuenca).

Unlike the civil final judgments issued on paper with an applied paper seal, the definitve provision of nobility was drawn up on parchment and sealed with a lead seal. Its legal effects are equivalent to those of a tax privilege, exempting the nobleman from holding certain council roles to the detriment of the Hacienda de la Corona (Crown Treasury). The original provisions of nobility contained colorful heraldic elements referencing the noble lineage being conferred. Royal Audience and Chancery of Granada.
